New Owner in the Big Apple - NYC

[philip-whiskeyjacks]

Hello All,

I'm Philip Hubbard, taking over the Empires and looking forward to the 2110 season.  I see that it's going to be an uphill climb, but I just completed an expansion draft for the 1969 KC Royals in another OOTP league.  We're 11-58 and almost everyone of these struggling Empires would be franchise players for that team.   

Relatively new to OOTP, but I'm in my third season in the '69 Royals league, Dugout Wizards, and have 2 other leagues:  1875 St. Louis Brown Stockings and 2018 KC Royals.

Definitely relocating in the off-season as a Kansas City boy can't stay in New York.  Decided to move north to Canada for our one and only team from the Great White North, but have not definitely decided to move.  Various cities have been putting in bids and currently Vancouver and Quebec City are the leading contenders.

Good luck to all through the balance of the playoffs and Championship!

Welcome.

Welcome, Philip.  So what are your plans?  Building through the draft, or making some deals to fast-forward the process?

[philip-whiskeyjacks]

Always happy to entertain trades and would deal good pieces for multiple prospects.  It's clear this is not a playoff team and therefore worth taking one step back in the immediate future for two steps forward in another year.  Anyone coming for Poe should know, however, that I'll want pitching back.
 
Otherwise, there is the draft, waiver wire, and free agency.

We'll get there.  Just need to get out of the City and into the clean, crisp air north of the border.
